Best hose clamps to get.

I have a Airraid jr. installed on my Tahoe. At times the air intake comes loose. What can I do to solve this problem?

Safety wire. I had similar happenings on my kawasaki concours....leaked coolant just 2 years after replacing all the rubber and the clamps. I bought SS clamps, and because there was no corrosion to help "lock it in" they back out. If you get some safety wire, you can secure the worm screw with it.

i like to use this kind of clamps, they are very stable and do not cut into the rubber

Do they make spring clamps that large?

Breeze makes some good ones, the constant torque might be worth the expense here, or even just the liner type. Safety wire is a good tip also if clamp is loosening. Thanks Derick for the reminder.

these are the material specifications and the sizes are in mm, not in inches

W1 completely made of galvanized steel
W2 Band and housing made of stainless steel 1.4016 Screw: galvanized steel
W4 Band, housing and screw made of stainless steel 1.4301 or equivalent corrosion-resistant steel
W5 made entirely of stainless steel 1.4401, 1.4436 or 1.4571

yes, as already mentioned in my first thread, i use the clamps very often. actually only for all connections.
They are very stable, because of the rounded edges, they don't cut into the rubber and don't start to rust.

I used Roadformer t-bolt clamps, they're like the ones linked here but fairly inexpensive, from Amazon, for my CAI. I like spring clamps for the smaller sizes. There is an option to find what they call "constant tension" t-bolt clamps too that incorporate springs on the t-bolt. I know Mishimoto makes some but they're expensive.

Lock Tite on your geared clamps helps.
